What is 1/6 + 1/6?

Here's how to add

Step 1

Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators.

1 + 1 = 2

The sum we get is

Step 2

The last step is to reduce the fraction if we can.

To find out, we try dividing it by 2...

Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 2? Yes! So we reduce it:

So far so good... let's try to divide by that number again.

No good. 2 is larger than 1. So we're done reducing.

And we're done! Here's the final answer to 1/6 + 1/6
